With all the call ups from the minors including fan favorites outfielder Rocco Baldelli and catcher Dioner Navarro who were keys to the Rays 2008 World Series appearance, you can bet they are going to make the playoffs as the division winners or as the wildcard team! There is also a free medium popcorn and soda being given away to each person! Plus you get all this fun and a great comfortable movie chair to cheer on the Rays!
